The dates for our next festival will be Friday 1st November - Sunday 3rd November 2019.

This will be a welcome return of our festival after the successful 2018 '3-day musical feast' ... and promises once again to be full of wonderful musicians performing to the most appreciative audiences ever...gathered in Perthshire in the heart of Scotland from all over the world! Our venues will be as special as ever … ranging from the prestigious Perth Concert Hall to the atmospheric chruch or castle venues, from the Garden Room at Dunkeld House on the banks of the Tay to the various historic Dunkeld pubs where music sessions will again abound!

Once again we'll have lots of wonderful new artists as well as festival favourites who have become part of our 'team', with a mixture of evening concerts, Amber Afternoon concerts, Cabaret Amber, Open Mic... and lots of music sessions in pubs!

Enjoy this website which is full of info about past festivals and in time you'll find out what you can enjoy in 2019. The website is always a 'work in progress' and information, events and musicians will be added throughout the year...so keep coming back for updates. All the Perthshire Amber team look forward to welcoming you back to Perthshire in the autumn.

The Programme, Artists and Venues for our 2019 festival will not be announced til early April 2019. Till then the 2018 Programme etc is online for folks to explore. Tickets for 2019 will be on sale from 4pm (UK time) on Tuesday 14th May 2019.

See you all next autumn!!Cheers, Jenny(Jennifer MacLean, Festival Director)
